Good find. I had apprehensions about the tax filing next year for 2008 but got it cleared here.
Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?
A. No, the Stimulus Payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

We are looking to talk to a good immigration lawyer and seek opinions on the following
(1) H1b visa transfer process for physicians after residencies into a jobs
(2) How to handle licensing issues - murthy.com has some info, but we need a better perspective
(3) Green cards for physicians - eligibility and time frame and minimum requirements etc..
Any any other pitfalls or booby traps that one has to be careful about.
A lot of physicians do visit IV website - am wondering if there are any user groups or forums on web that discuss potential issues and other stuff that we discuss on IV.

One of the options the President has had on the table - one every President has - is using an administrative option to provide temporary legal status and work authorization to those in the country illegally. Rumors have been spreading within the community of antis around the country and they've gotten a handful of hardcore anti-immigrant members of Congress to send a letter warning the President to drop the idea (if indeed it was really being considered. How could President Obama do what the paralyzed Congress can't? Two options come to mind. He could look at a blanket policy using...

Could please update your profile.
And regarding problems at POE... its not totally true but at the same time you cannot
rule out totally also.
so basically keep all the required documents like your employer letter... and
if possible your client letter showing you have job when you come back and
also your recent paystubs.

Does anyone know how slow/fast/better is the Counsular Processing back in India if you ever become eligible to do that?
Is itbetter than applying 485 here and waiting .......ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
Don't go for it. It may be fast but you are working with too many variables that may go wrong. I went back home last year for CP and suddenly I became a victim of retrogression. I missed my cutoff date by two days. Then I had to wait for about 3 months to get my H1 stamp. I was lucky that I didn't lose my job here.

Hi,
Currently i am working as full time employee on H1B, receiving W2. I have EAD valid until Oct 2010.
Can i use EAD to work part time and receive 1099 as income statement? If i use EAD / 1099 will this cause an issue for I-485 approval (AOS is pending) ?
Thanks in advance for your time valuable input.

please post your experiences regarding recent RFEs for EB2 and EB3 to EB2 conversions. please include details regarding what the RFE was issued for. I am startng this thread because I am hearing different things from different people saying EB2 is being scrutinized more(especially EB3 to EB2 conversions) and this is resulting in more RFEs. I need every body who received RFEs recently to comment on it so that we can arrive at an accurate assessment. I am expecting that EB2 India/ China will continue advancing in the next few months. this will indirectly benefit EB3 India also as there will be unused visa numbers that will overflow into EB3, but the only problem is if applications are scrutinized, then the RFEs may delay processing for many people with earlier PDs even if their date becomes current.

Instead of building a border fence to help stem illegal immigration, the U.S. government should implant microchips into immigrants before deportation, much like what is done with pets, Pat Bertroche, an Urbandale physician and one of seven Republicans running in the 3rd District Congressional primary, said Monday.
Install microchips in illegal immigrants, GOP candidate says � Iowa Independent (http://iowaindependent.com/32926/install-microchips-in-illegal-immigrants-gop-candidate-says)

I am sure that IV core team organizes events and actions pretty well. I know there are usually action items that get posted on IV.
How about thinking about the action items in a different perspective. For any event/action, create a task force. Ofcourse that may have been what is done as of now. But all am saying is create a taskforce every action/event to be organized at different levels vi.z, IV Core, IV State, IV Local and create a menu item called TaskForce on the main page. Anyone who is interested in a particular event or action would get in touch with the taskforce team.
Not sure if it makes sense but just a thought of coining a different name for the action items with assigned roles and ability to contact easily.

Hi All
My wife changed her status from F2 to F1 and recently she went to India, so she had her visa stamping appointment on Feb 18. at the counter the visa officer told her that she hasnt paid the SEVIS fee so has to go outside and pay online and come back with the receipt. she did and went back and she was told that she has got the visa and the passport will be mailed to her. she hasnt received it yet (its about 8 working days now), and when i contacted the consulate they replied: "We have provided a pink sheet, which says that the SEVIS is not updated in the system. Once it gets updated the passport will be sent to the mailing address."
1. is this delay a normal occurance and how long it takes in such case?
2. do you guys see any problem in this case?
please advice..
regards
Raj

as far as I understand it, you will be eligible for AC21 in feb. As long a they do not withdraw your 140 you should be ok. Just switch to a different employer and invoke AC21 in feb. Disclaimer: consult an attorney to confirm.

Hi,
I apologize if I am asking a repeat question.
I received my green card a few months ago but my family haven't received their's yet. As a result they are still using EAD and/or Advance Parole documents. I am considering a job change and in that context I have two questions:
1. Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of - given that my family's cases haven't been approved yet.
2. If I do change jobs, can I apply for EAD and Advance Parole documents for my family on my own? Meaning, without going through the employer.
Thanks for your time.

A Failure to Lead (http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010843) The Democratic Congress is more interested in acting out than in taking positive action BY KARL ROVE | Wall Street Journal, November 9, 2007
Mr. Rove is a former adviser to President George W. Bush.
This week is the one-year anniversary of Democrats winning Congress. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid probably aren't in a celebrating mood. The goodwill they enjoyed after their victory is gone. Their bright campaign promises are unfulfilled. Democratic leadership is in disarray. And Congress's approval rating has fallen to its lowest point in history.
The problems the Democrats are now experiencing begin with the federal budget. Or rather, the lack of one. In 2006, Democrats criticized Congress for dragging its feet on the budget and pledged that they would do better. Instead, they did worse. The new fiscal year started Oct. 1--five weeks ago--but Democrats have yet to send the president a single annual appropriations bill. It's been at least 20 years since Congress has gone this late in passing any appropriation bills, an indication of the mess the Pelosi-Reid Congress is now in.
Even worse, the Democrats have made clear all their talk about "fiscal discipline" is just that--talk. They're proposing to spend $205 billion more than the president has proposed over the next five years. And the opening wedge of this binge is $22 billion more in spending proposed for the coming year. Only in Washington could someone in public life be so clueless to say, as Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi have, that $22 billion is a "relatively small" difference.
Let's also be clear about what it means to roll back the president's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, as the Democrats want to do. Every income-tax payer will pay more as all tax rates rise. Families will pay $500 more per child as they lose the child tax credit. Taxes on small businesses would go up by an average of about $4,000. Retirees will pay higher taxes on investment retirement income. And now we have the $1 trillion tax increase proposed as "tax reform" by the Democrats' chief tax writer last month.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failing to pass a budget, proposing a huge spike in federal spending and offering the biggest tax increase in history are not the only hallmarks of this Democratic Congress.
Beholden to MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups, Democratic leaders have ignored the progress made in Iraq by the surge, diminished the efforts of our military, and wasted precious time with failed attempts to force an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. They continue to try to implement this course, which would lead to chaos in the region, the creation of a possible terror state with the third largest oil reserves in the world, and a major propaganda victory for Osama bin Laden as well as for Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah.
After promising on the campaign trail to "support our troops," Democrats tried to cut off funding for our military while our soldiers and Marines are under fire from the enemy. For 19 Senate Democrats, this was simply a bridge too far, so they voted against their own leadership's proposal. Democrats also tried to stuff an emergency war-spending bill with billions of dollars of pork for individual members. Now the party's leaders are stalling an emergency supplemental bill with funding for body armor, bullets and mine-resistant vehicles.
After pledging a "Congress that strongly honors our responsibility to protect our people from terrorism," Democrats have refused to make permanent reforms of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that the Director of National Intelligence said were needed to close "critical gaps in our intelligence capability." Their presidential candidates fell all over each other in a recent debate to pledge an end to the Terrorist Surveillance Program. Then Senate Democratic leaders, thinking there was an opening for political advantage, slow-walked the confirmation of Judge Michael Mukasey to be the next attorney general. It's obvious that this is a man who knows the important role the Justice Department plays in the war on terror. Delaying his confirmation is only making it harder to prosecute the war.
Democrats promised "civility and bipartisanship." Instead, they stiff-armed their Republican colleagues, refused to include them in budget negotiations between the two houses, and have launched more than 400 investigations and made more than 675 requests for documents, interviews or testimony. They refused a bipartisan compromise on an expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, instead wasting precious time sending the president a bill they knew he would veto. And they did this knowing that they wouldn't be able to override that veto. Why? Because their pollsters told them putting the children's health-care program at risk would score political points. Instead, it left them looking cynical.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list of Congress's failures grows each month. No energy bill. No action on health care. No action on the mortgage crisis. No immigration reform. No progress on renewing No Child Left Behind. Precious little action on judges and not enough on reducing trade barriers. Congress has not done its work. And these failures will have consequences.
Democrats had a moment after the 2006 election, but now that moment has passed. They've squandered it. They have demonstrated both the inability and unwillingness to govern. Instead, after more than a decade in the congressional minority, they reflexively look for short-term partisan advantage and attempt to appease the party's most strident fringe. Now that Democrats have the reins of congressional power, their true colors are coming out and the public doesn't like what it sees.
The Democratic victory in 2006 was narrow. They won the House by 85,961 votes out of over 80 million cast and the Senate by a mere 3,562 out of over 62 million cast. A party that wins control by that narrow margin can quickly see its fortunes reversed when it fails to act responsibly, fails to fulfill its promises, and fails to lead.

The New York Post is reporting that Piers Morgan, the very British judge of America's Got Talent is having problems getting approval from USCIS to come and take over Larry King's coveted seat on CNN's prime time schedule this fall. The article raises more questions than it answers. It hints at the end that the visa category being sought is not based on extraordinary ability and it also does not say if Morgan is seeking a green card or a non-immigrant visa. It also is not clear if Morgan is actually being denied a visa to come work or if...

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union International, one of the country's major unions, was upset about how raids were conducted in 2006 at Swift meatpacking plants around the country. So they did something about it. They created a commission of experts to hold hearings about work site raids and this week they released their findings in a report entitled Raids on Workers: Destroying our Rights. According to the UCFW: �This commission was formed to examine allegations of abuse and misconduct by ICE agents during the course of immigration raids,� said Joseph T.

A reader sent me a link to a post at the The Future of Capitalism blog reminding folks that being pro-immigration fits right in to a conservative agenda: David Cameron, the British "Conservative" Party leader who favors a top income tax rate of 50%, also wants immigration restrictions that would limit Great Britain's population over the next 20 years to 70 million. The Financial Times has an editorial with some reasons this is a bad idea. Here in America, the restrictionist Federation for American Immigration Reform is a bronze sponsor of next month's National Tea Party Convention. Here at FutureOfCapitalism.com,...
